13:00 22.05.16

Panathinaikos take on visitors AEK on round three of the Play Offs in Greece Super League. The match is taking place at Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium on Monday, May 23rd.

Panathinaikos have finished second in the main part of the season with 55 points and 52-26 aggregate goal difference. The hosts of the match are still one of the leading teams in the country but the difference in level of Olympiacos and other contenders only increases with each year. This year champions clinched the title with 30-point advantage. Panathinaikos have gained 34 points in 16 matches at home this season with 35 goals scored and 12 allowed. Panathinaikos are undefeated in six matches in a row starting March 13. Moreover, the hosts are unbeaten in their last six matches at own stadium, recording four wins and two draws.

AEK have played only one match of the Play Offs phase, losing to PAOK on the road, 1-2. Just like the majority of football teams, AEK show better results at home than on the road, gaining 18 points in 16 away matches this season with 13-17 aggregate goal difference. Moreover, AEK are unable to win on the road since the beginning of February with only four points gained.

The opponents are notable teams in their country and have played two head-to-heads this season with one scoreless draws and 1-0 of AEK at home stadium. We should also note that the last seven head-to-heads between the teams ended with less than 3 goals in the match and there are no reasons to expect end-to-end football from the teams in such important clash.
